Our new Year 7 Champion, Ben, has written the following to you:

Hi Year 6’s, my name is Ben. I joined Sexey’s Year 7 back in 2015 and have experienced the challenges of each year; including the Sixth Form. As your Year 7 Champion it is my responsibility to guide you through your first year at Sexey’s and ensure you settle in well and can make the most of the year ahead. I appreciate the worries you may have: a new, larger school space, a lot more people than in Primary, it is natural to feel anxious in the first few weeks of Year 7, however I assure you that once you’re in, and you’ve started to thrive, you will be at your happiest. That’s where I come in, my role is to open up opportunities for you using my experience, and first-hand knowledge to settle any issues that may arise in the student body as swiftly and safely as possible. The next seven years for you will be the best years of your life, and although it’s probably already been mentioned to you about a million times – it really will go very, very quickly. I welcome you all into our student population at Sexey’s. Good luck, make the most out of every day and if you need anything at all, contact me on my school address or find me around school!
